She signed on with NBC for an unspecified multiyear contract, the amount of which hasn’t been made public. Kelly was reportedly making $10 million to $12 million a year at Fox.

In her memoir “Settle for More,” Kelly describes how she landed her first job as a lawyer fresh out of law school in 1995, and offers advice for anyone applying for a new job in any field.

“I did something all job applicants should do — I asked for the job,” she wrote. “I told them that if they extended an offer, I would accept it on the spot, that I had done the research and investigation, and this was where I wanted to be.”

After that meeting with the law firm, they offered her a job paying $85,000 a year, a welcome sum to a recent grad with $100,000 in school loan debt.

“Don’t underestimate the power this message can have on a potential employer,” Kelly wrote. “Everyone likes to be flattered. Of course it works better if it’s true.”
